Verdict

A solid line up is set to face the tapes for what will be a most stern test of stamina and resolution. The likes of Mysteree and Court Frontier have to be given plenty of respect as leading contenders on these terms, and certainly come into the reckoning as options for savers for punters who like to cover a few corners. However, GONALSTON CLOUD is a more adventurous alternative and, given that he may excel when he starts to draw on the reserves of his stamina, he rates as good value on these terms. The recent record of 10-year-olds is a slight concern but his proven determination is a persuasive factor. Others capable of making the frame include Silver Man and Cogry, who have gone well at the course in the past, while Mad Brian ran a blinder at Punchestown recently and can give Richard Johnson, who is bound to have been buoyed by guiding home the winner of the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham on Friday, another good spin from the foot of the handicap.
